Thank you for this post. There is much in it worthy of more consideration and investigation.
I have thought much the same as you with regard to whether or not this was an internal operation, an “October surprise”, designed to bolster Obama’s bona fides as a strong, war-time leader. Obviously, he isn’t one.
Where I differ with you is your apparent exoneration of Obama and Hillary from planning and executing this. Why do you think they were not the perpetrators in this conjectured scenario? Why not Hillary alone as the instigator through the Muslim Brotherhood via Huma?
Further, when the White House, the CIA, the Joint Chiefs, the several branches of the military, the Sec’y of State’s office and other alphabets all watched the attack in real time for SIX straight hours, why was nothing done to help? Who ordered the drone overhead and who positioned the satellite overhead so all these folks could watch and listen as the attack began and progressed. Where are the videos now? Why have these people been silenced by Panetta? Where was Obama during this attack? Where was Hillary? For that matter, where was Huma Weiner? (I assume she took the rat’s name).
“Why do you think they were not the perpetrators in this conjectured scenario? Why not Hillary alone as the instigator through the Muslim Brotherhood via Huma?”
The timing speaks to Al Qaida, IMO. I wouldn’t think Hillary or Obama would specifically use that date, though I could be wrong.
I don’t doubt the sociopathy of the modern Liberal politician, or their unlimited hunger for power at all costs, but it seems as if this would be just a little too much risk for them. They are, above all cowards, and the thought of ending up bouncing on the end of a rope would, I think, prevent them from making the jump to actually helping Al Qaiad in a way which couldn’t be denied.
Oddly enough on the slower military response, I saw Stevens requested to be allowed to keep an airplane which was tasked with quick deployment of security assests throughout Libya, but State took it away, saying it wasn’t needed, since planes could be chartered on an as-needed basis. The first Military to arrive in support at Benghazi supposedly had to wait for a charter plane to ferry them from Tripoli to Benghazi. Again, someone in State left them hogtied.
But obviously, it is all speculation.
